SARY OF THE DAY HIS FATHER WAS AssAssINATED.
1t Is semi-Oficially stated in ST. Petersburg that
on Sunday the police were informed that an at
tempt might be made on the life OF the car on
that day, 1t being the anniversary OF the assass-
nation OF his father, and that as result the po-
lice arrested near the imperial palace several per-
sons who were discovered holding dynamite bombs
In their hands ready to throw them at the car as
he emerged.
A dispatch from St Petersburg to the London
Daily Ne,Us says: While the car was returning
from the requiem services In the Cathedral OF st.
Peter and ST. Paul bomb attached to a cord was
thrown In his direction. The intention was to
tighten the string which was connected with the
mechanism and thus explode the bomb, but before
is could be executed the criminal and suspected
accomplice were seized. II was found that they
lived together In a lodging house In q suburb OF
the city. The police visited this house, and dis
covered there quantity OF explosives and num-
Der OF Revolutionary pamphlets. Over 200 per-
sons have been arrested In connection with the
affair, and domictiiary visits are being made
throughout the city. The German police had
warned the Russian authorities that an attempt
was to be made against the cars Life but the lat
ter failed to trace the plOtterS.
telegram from Vienna confirms the Nescs dis
patch, and says that the bomb was thrown under
the cars carriage, and that IL was shaped hike a
book so that IL could be carried In the hand with
out exciting suspicion.
